Hair cream

I am working on a hair cream and I am having a few issues with it.1. When adjusting ph down viscosity drops2. Adding silicone vis drops too3. I want a creamy texture of product. This is thin and melts in hand. The product doesn't have body.Why is this happening? What are ways to increase viscosity?Composition: behentrimonium chloride, cetyl alchol and esters, silicone, glycerin

I am sorry but you cant use carbopol with a cationic formulation, either up the fatty alcohol or better use the combination of cetyl and cetostearyl that I do and it thickens great. Or use a cationic thickener like a polyquaternium 10 or 37 or which is available to you easily and fits your cost. With a cationic thickener you can reduce the quantity of your conditioner also as the thickener also provides the conditioning.
